The United States armed forces reported a new deadly attack against an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean Sea, near Venezuela, and that its three crew members died during the operation. This took place last Friday, February 13.
The Southern Command indicated on social networks that the vessel “was transiting known drug trafficking routes in the Caribbean and participating in drug trafficking operations.” He added that the attack caused the death of three people.

The attack brings to 133 the death toll from the Trump administration’s attacks on suspected drug ships, in at least 38 attacks carried out since early September in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean.
During this week, the Southern Command, under the orders of the new force commander, Francis Donovan, carried out three attacks, intensifying its operations in the area.
Attacks on boats supposedly linked to drug trafficking persist despite the fact that the United States has given its approval to the new administration of Donald Trump.
